Safety chains ensure the trailer remains connected to the tow vehicle in the event the hitch fails.
The chains should be long enough to allow the vehicles to corner without binding, but not so long that they drag on the pavement. Dragging can cause the chains to become worn and unsafe. When attaching the chains to the tow vehicle, make sure to cross them. This creates a saddle for the trailer tongue in the event of failure.
When using a frame-mounted trailer hitch, attach the safety chains to the frame using recommendations supplied by the hitch manufacturer. A frame-mounted hitch is one where the hitch is attached to the frame of the tow vehicle. This gives more stability to a bumper pull type of hitch.
